Printing rubbish

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi There,

See if this can help (mac os x and linux platforms only - just sticked  
out of one of my 24/7 rev apps witch take an html block as input and  
convert/save it as pdf) :

    put HTML_output into url ("file:" & HTML_to_save_path)
    get shell("/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f " &&  
HTML_to_save_path && "-o" && PDF_to_save_path && "-j application/pdf")

Some doc there :

http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/02/bulk-convert-html-rtf-to-pdf-using-mac-os-x-command-line-or-an-applescript/

or Googled it with :

System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert

for the details

Best,

Pierre
